How much pumping do you do. Some people didn't get results until they upped it to 4 hours/day. You also have to take breaks, some people 2 weeks every 2 months, others pump 3 or 4 days a week (consecutively) and take the rest of the week off. I think the weekly routine is better. You must oil your breasts, while pumping and massaging, many oils are beneficial, but most common are coconut or almond oil. Drink lots of water, especially before and during pumping. Do not pump continuously for more than 20 minutes, take a short massage break before continuing. If you pump 4 hours, best to break that up into morning and evening sessions. Massage twice a day every day with oil. Add fenugreek to the oil for added boost, I do not recommend taking fenugreek pills as it adds fat all over your body, whereas adding it to the oil for massage targets your breasts only. Watch for damage from long pumping, anything at all and stop until healed. Red dots, blisters, bruising, even steam in cups is bad. Do not let cups slide up into armpit area as pressure by the rim there can damage nerves. If you get tingling or numness then stop, wait for recovery (days), then resume with lower placement and/or padding.

I hope this helps, good luck.

I pump for only an hour a day but it's typically every day. Unless I'm really sore or accidentally tore the skin I usually don't take breaks. My chest is already child sized so I don't see how I can completely avoid the armpit area. I guess I just may have to quit pumping entirely because there aren't any cups that are small enough to cover my breasts only. For me to use them another part of my body has to be in the cups as well.
